I'm choosing between two notebooks. Both have 4 GB RAM and same price. But I don't know which is more efficient in gaming and making 3D graphics.

One has Geforce GTS 160M + Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000 and second has i5 430M + Radeon 5650.

Can you tell me which will be better for me?
 
I meant overall
Also,notebookcheck makes a lot of mistakes(especially in ranking)so check the benchmarks and you'll find out 5650M performing much better.
